We’re seeking an accredited conservation architect to join E2 Architecture + Interiors, leading our conservation projects alongside cutting-edge contemporary design work. Whether you prefer part-time or full-time hours, you’ll enjoy hybrid flexibility and a zero-overtime culture that values the quality of your life outside the studio as much as the quality of your work.

• you’re a natural mentor and communicator, ready to guide our team in best conservation practices
• you champion efficient, high-quality delivery-meeting client goals on time and to the highest standard, without staying late

Your role:

• lead conservation and contemporary design: manage projects from concept through completion, blending modern architectural solutions with historic preservation.
• mentorship and culture: instil best practices in conservation investigation, research and decision making  across our team, fostering growth and excellence
• client and stakeholder engagement: build trusted relationships with clients, heritage bodies, and consultants, clearly communicating design intent and progress
• strategic growth: shape our conservation and contemporary design portfolio-identifying opportunities and helping define the future direction of our practice

What we offer:

• £45,000-55,000 FTE: discretionary performance based bonus scheme.

• 20 days holiday + Christmas shut down
• zero-overtime culture: we plan efficiently to deliver exceptional work within office hours.
• innovative projects: a diverse mix of conservation and contemporary design commissions across London and beyond
• supportive team: a collaborative, design-led studio that celebrates creativity, sustainability, and respect for heritage
• professional development: ongoing learning opportunities to deepen your expertise in both conservation and contemporary architecture
